Council Member Bowie Hogg is a lifelong resident of Arlington and a proud product of Arlington schools from kindergarten to graduation. The energetic Texan is the youngest of four boys and comes from a long Texas heritage of public service to his community and state. Mr. Hogg has been an active citizen in Arlington during his years as a student and continued his civic involvement when he returned home after graduating from Texas A&M University.
Currently, Mr. Hogg serves as the Regional Vice President for the largest digital physical therapy company in the country. He also serves on several boards of non-profit organizations and donates his time to numerous youth events.
Mr. Hogg holds the honor of being selected from over 215,000 young, successful business entrepreneurs for the original edition of NBC's hit show "The Apprentice." This experience has enhanced Mr. Hogg's desire to serve the public, allowing him to follow his true passions in education, healthcare, and public service. He is proud of his governance on the Arlington School Board, having been first elected to the AISD District Board of Trustees in 2008 and re-elected in 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2020. During Mr. Hogg's tenure as President of the Board, they received the Texas School Board of the Year award from the Texas Association of School Administrators and were recognized as the Most Outstanding Board in the State of Texas by the H-E-B Corporation, as well as a finalist for Large District of the Year.
Mr. Hogg and his wife Leslie, an Arlington native, small business owner, and UT-Arlington graduate, are raising their two young daughters, Helen and Ellis, in their hometown. The Hoggs are active members of First Baptist Church Arlington, and Bowie's favorite evenings are father/daughter dances with Helen and Ellis.
